Mill Park – We’re proud of our school!

Why are we proud of our school?

We have over 27 languages here! Most of our kids are bilingual, and they are all exceptional in some way. We are a HIGH growth school. Our kids make impressive progress because our teachers are exceptional and very knowledgeable.

What curriculum do we use?

For Math, we use the iready Math curriculum. 

For literacy (reading, writing), we use HMH and ECRI. Our reading instruction is based on the Science of Reading.

For Social Emotional Learning, we use a combination of the Mindup Curriculum along with the Toolbox curriculum. We teach students both how to regulate themselves, and how to solve small problems with “tools.”

What time is school?

Our doors open at 8:55 AM, and the tardy bell rings at 9:15 AM. Breakfast is FREE and served until 9:10 AM. School ends at 3:30 PM.

What days are we in session?

Please see our Elementary Calendar below.

Which door do I drop off my child at? Where do I pick them up?

We have three ways to enter and exit the school. Please use the appropriate door for the safety of our kids. The front door is only for bus riders to enter and exit. Please do not drop off and pick up your students using the Bus Loop.

If your child is a walker, then come in and out the Recess Door closest to the basketball courts

If you drive to and from school, go through the drop off and pick up loop at the Mill Park Baptist Church. Turn in on Market street, drive though the designated loop and leave onto 117th.

Please NEVER park in the bus loop.
